Big Changes

It’s been a busy time for Hubby and me as we are
experiencing some big changes.

Following a three-week furlough, grandson, Ben, went to the
U.S. Naval Academy. He has now been discharged from the Marines and has gained
the title, Midshipman (officer cadet), at the academy.

Meanwhile, back here in Kansas, his parents were busy with
the final days of their jobs, signing over to another family the country home
they have enjoyed for many years, packing, overseeing the loading of their
possessions, and saying good-bye to family and friends.

I’m pretty sure no one dislikes change more than this
writer. My dream was to live in the same house in the same town all of my
married life. Unlike my dream, during my almost sixty years of marriage, I have
lived in sixteen different spaces located in eight cities within five states.
So, I should be accustomed to change and take it in stride. Not so. I am sad to
see family move to another state, even if it is only a five-hour drive away. (I guess it
could be worse - like Hawaii.)

About Me

After retiring from a career in education, I abandoned academic writing to take up blogging and writing fiction. My novel, CHILD OF DESIRE, was released November 8, 2011, and the 2nd edition was released March 19, 2018.
